Vinge advises Fouriertransform in connection with investment in Norstel AB

January 27, 2010

Vinge has advised Fouriertransform, the Swedish state-owned venture capital company for the motor vehicle industry, in its acquisition of shares and convertible debentures in Norstel AB (publ). Norstel develops power supply systems and solutions and the investment amounts to EUR 10.5 million. The investment has been effected through a directed issue of new shares and convertible debentures. The investment will make Fouriertransform the company's largest individual shareholder.
 
Norstel has the potential to become one of the world's leading suppliers of Sic-wafers, which constitute an important element in the successful development and production of environmentally friendly hybrid vehicles. This is Fouriertransform's second investment. Vinge also advised on the first investment last autumn in the fuel cell company, Powercell Sweden AB.
 
Vinge's team consisted of Ulf Sallnäs, Helena Jonsson and David Andersson.

Renewable energy – The Council agrees on a temporary emergency regulation

In the beginning of November, the European Commission put forward a proposal regarding a framework to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy, with the ambition to speed up the transition to green energy and reduce the EU’s dependency on Russian fossil fuels. In line with the conclusions of the European Council at the end of October, the European Commission considers that the ongoing energy crisis requires immediate action to transpose parts of the REPowerEU plan, and therefore proposes to adopt a Council Regulation using Article 122(1) of the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) as legal basis.

REPowerEU – The European Parliament and the Council have assumed their standpoints

In May 2022, the Commission presented its proposal regarding REPowerEU. The purpose of the plan, which is based on the "Fit for 55" parcel , is to change Europe’s energy system by eliminating the EU’s dependency on Russian fossil fuels as well as to tackle the climate crisis. The European Parliament and the Council have now adopted their positions in order to incorporate the plan into the national recovery and resilience plans.

Vinge authors the Swedish contribution regarding tax disputes for The Legal 500

 International companies run the risk of the erroneous management of tax issues when conducting operations in several jurisdictions. In such event, disputes can arise with the relevant tax authorities. The Legal 500 has now introduced a dedicated chapter on tax disputes in its comparative guide for the first time and Ulrika Bengtsson, advokat and counsel, has been selected to provide a clear picture of the Swedish tax litigation system.
